Wanted

Wanted: House with Garden. We are a local family - with one toddler and another baby on the way - looking for a period house in the Chalford Hill/France Lynch area. We need a minimum of four bedrooms, plus gardens and parking. We have sold our own cottage, so are able to move very quickly - no chain, and we’re cash buyers. We’re not trying to avoid dealing with estate agents, but there’s so little on the market at the moment that a private sale seems like our only option.

Please contact Sarah via SarahEdghill@compuserve.com
